Chapter 341: Three Swords of the Path

Maybe it's because I saw the manifestation of the miracle of the Buddha Saha last night, and then chatted with Xiao Cong for so long, so I couldn't sleep well, Hongxiang took a back sleep before dawn, and didn't wake up naturally until the beginning of noon, the weather was so hot, he slept in the impermeable sheepskin tent, and he didn't feel stuffy, and he could sleep so steadily, which was a rare ability.

This guy walked out of the tent sleepy-eyed and listless, and when he stretched his waist, he instantly came to his senses as if he had been beaten with chicken blood, and his arms were still open in mid-air, but his eyes widened and his head was stretched forward, like a long-legged rooster, so it was not too funny.

For him, the hut that Xiao Cong had spent nearly a morning building almost fell from the sky.

Xiao Cong walked out of the wooden house, attracting Hongxiang's attention, he was still sloppy, rolling up his sleeves, rolling up his trousers, his hair was a little scattered, and the obscene clothes he wore on his body were also pulled to the point that he was no longer in shape, but he had an extra delicate axe in his hand, and he was full of interest, and he should go and cut down another tree to make something.

Hongxiang looked at Xiao Cong, rubbed his eyes vigorously, and looked incredulous,

"Brother, I'm not dreaming!"

Then he slapped himself with a big mouth unequivocally, and said in a strange voice:

"I'm going, it's really not a dream!"

Xiao Cong put the axe on his shoulder and smiled,

"Wake up, go, come and help me. ”

Hongxiang had a bitter little face, full of reluctance, his right hand rubbed his stomach lightly, his expression was sad, and he said weakly:

"Oops, I'm so hungry~"

Xiao Cong couldn't help laughing, and scolded jokingly with the corners of his mouth:

"The lazy donkey has a lot of and pee, so if you don't want to go, forget it, I'm afraid that your clumsiness will ruin what I want to do. ”

After speaking, he waved his left hand and turned his head away, like a farmer who went out to work on time and was content and happy.

Hongxiang shouted from behind,

"Then what do I eat!"

Xiao Cong's footsteps didn't stop, and he didn't look back,

"Make whatever you want to eat. There was laughter in the response.

Hongxiang bit his fingers and said to himself:

"What's wrong with my brother, what's the dirt on your body? This shouldn't be the case, it's idle anyway, I'm idle, just go with him to see what the hell this guy is tinkering with." ”

immediately put down his hand, shook off his two small thin legs, and chased in the direction that Xiao Cong left.

This time Hongxiang was really disappointed, because Xiao Cong's abnormality was really out of whim, using the axe refined by Zhong Liqiu himself to cut down the tree, but it was just a table and three chairs, at first Hongxiang didn't believe it, rummaged carefully in the hut that Xiao Cong had just built, like a hunting dog with a keen sense of smell, smelled here and there, and even asked Xiao Cong if there was any conspiracy, Xiao Cong couldn't cry or laugh, and honestly replied that he just wanted to live here comfortably for a while, he didn't believe it, and then looked at Xiao Cong for most of the day with a strange taste in his eyes。

Xiao Cong laid a good table, chair and wooden bed, put a tea set on the table, and the days settled down temporarily, and he became the fourth young master of his Xiao family again, just the fourth young master who was busy hiding in the deep mountains, with no shortage of food and clothing, free life, reading and participating in battles, drinking tea and playing chess, a rare quiet and natural good scene.

Xiao Cong relaxed, Hongxiang followed, once the young man's lively and active nature was revealed, he was like a flood of beasts out of control, these things that were oppressed by poverty in the early years were particularly strongly reflected in him, such as a raging fire, enough to burn the entire mountain, Xiao Cong did not interfere, let him go crazy all over the mountains, Hongxiang was not polite to him, go out early and return late at will, after dinner to show off the experience of the day, and fell asleep, Xiao Cong just listened quietly, and somehow, whenever he saw Hongxiang's little face that became red due to wanton play, his heart was also very comfortable, although the two of them had been so indulgent when they were in the desert before, but compared to this, it seems very unreal, and very heavy, only now, they are carefree, real, free, he can really feel the joy in Hongxiang's heart, although very naΓ―ve, but rare.

Yin Nuo woke up on the third day, a few days of recuperation, and only added a little essence to this guy, he still looked very vain, so weak that he was not as good as ordinary people, he could only sit quietly next to Xiao Cong, this sitting, it was almost a whole day, listless and trance, although he looked a little pitiful, but Xiao Cong did not treat him differently, and just like before, just less ridicule and more chatter.

At first, Yin Nuo, like Hongxiang at the beginning, always felt that Xiao Cong's move must be brewing something that would be a blockbuster, so although the state was not good, it still looked a little heavy, of course he didn't dare to question Xiao Cong directly like Hongxiang, he just waited quietly, no, he was waiting like an iron-blooded warrior, and so on, maybe Xiao Cong would take him back to North Street or other places after an order, no matter what the current state was, he had no hesitation, and he didn't know why he was proud from his heart, maybe because he had experienced so many things, he had begun to believe in Xiao Fourth Young Master involuntarily, and Fourth Young Master Xiao once said that his life was saved by his great efforts, and he would not let it die so easily, oops, he didn't want to delve into why this was, anyway, it was so urine!

But after less than a day, even Yin Nuo relaxed, because Xiao Cong's words and deeds now really don't look like he is holding back some bad water, he is full of leisure, his words are slow, his tone is light, he sits cross-legged at the table opposite the door of this small cabin, his expression is like a hermit who has seen through the red dust, everything in the house is newly-made, there are all kinds of wood fragrance on it, and there are exquisite carved patterns and patterns, these must be from the hands of Xiao Fourth Young Master- He didn't believe that Hongxiang, who was crazy all day long, would have such an elegant pen, all of which made him so fascinated, because he felt an unprecedented peace of mind, for him, this was something that he couldn't even think about before, but all this seemed to be because of the fourth young master Xiao next to him, who infected and spiritualized everything here, because the inexplicable power that this person has is too real.

In this way, Fourth Young Master Xiao must be quiet and peaceful now.

In this way, he slowly calmed down.

Hongxiang didn't see anyone all day, only Yin Nuo, who was chirping, accompanied Xiao Cong, Xiao Cong was immersed in what he was fascinated by, and generally couldn't speak, but occasionally when he raised his head to change his mind, he would also say a sentence or two to Yin Nuo, at first it was about the wonderful things he just saw, and sharing was also a kind of happiness This sentence is particularly true in him at this time, he either admires or talks with Yin Nuo with emotion, but Yin Nuo doesn't know much about these, so he has always been in line with the sound and the efforts to deal with it, so several times, he also feels that this matter is not only boring, but also a little embarrassing, he stopped sharing with Yin Nuo affectionately, so when he went out to loosen his muscles and came back to sit down again because he had sat for too long, he heard Yin Nuo beside him speak:

"Fourth Young Master Xiao, can you also give me this book to read, don't be too picky, you can just finish reading it. ”

He looked at the shy Yin Nuo and smiled slightly, and said:

"What a coincidence, I just finished reading it, so let's leave it at that. ”

casually threw the jade slip he had placed on the wooden table to Yin Nuo.

Since then, Yin Nuo's leisure time has also had a suitable destination, but he doesn't simply pass the time when he reads, and all the insights he gets will be like Xiao Cong's verification and even discussion, although his understanding is not as high as Hongxiang's, but it also makes Xiao Cong very pleased, and somehow, he just likes this kind of person who likes to focus on academics, maybe this is like gathering people in groups, because he himself is a complete nerd!

January passed in a hurry, Yin Nuo recovered quickly, and had reached his peak state, although there was no need to sit beside Xiao Cong sickly, but he was still sitting there until now, Hongxiang also retracted his thoughts, returned to Xiao Cong's side, and the three of them sat quietly around the table, each studying their own things, looking serious.

It's a pity that there is no feast in the world, no matter how beautiful the scenery is, he will still have a time to wither after all, besides, this kind of comfortable and peaceful life is not what they should live, it has been silent for so long, and it is time to set off and make another journey, although no one is reluctant, but after all, the old saying is good, contentment and happiness, besides, no matter how beautiful things are, if they are too easy to get, then they will not be cherished like that, temporary separation, just to see each other further.

The three of them were about to leave, Xiao Cong wanted to destroy the wooden house, but was resolutely opposed by Yin Nuo and Hongxiang, these two people were so united for the first time, Yin Nuo said that the other side of the stone carving teleportation array is here, maybe there will be a need in the future, Hongxiang said that there are some good memories of them here, so they should be left as a rare memorial, although Xiao Cong still felt that the appearance of a wooden house in a rarely populated place in the wilderness was too abrupt, for fear of causing any unnecessary incidents, but after all, he couldn't resist Hongxiang's nonsense and Yin Nuo's pitiful eyes, and in the end, this matter was put on hold。

Walking on the way back to North Street, Xiao Cong suddenly remembered something, so he turned his face and asked Yin Nuo,

"I heard you say a 'bitter' during a fight the other day, is it true?"

Yin Nuo scratched his head and smiled,

"It's true. ”

Xiao Cong looked puzzled, and couldn't help but ask again:

"Why are you laughing, isn't that funny?"

Yin Nuo still had a smile on his face, and said half-truthfully:

"Fourth Young Master Xiao may not believe it, when I think of the events of that night, I feel a little in a trance, as if I didn't do it, but I don't know why I'm very convinced, those are what I did, alas, I don't know what to say. ”

Xiao Cong was also happy when he heard it,

"That's the Demon Sword Inheritance?"

Yin Nuo nodded, noncommittal.

"Do you know the name of that sword?"

"It seems to be called Atuodao Three Blades. Yin Nuo replied honestly.

"Oh. Xiao Cong bowed his head silently, shook his head and laughed at himself, "It's really a fucking coincidence." ”

"What did Fourth Young Master Xiao say, what is such a coincidence?" Yin Nuo asked without knowing why.

Hongxiang on the side suddenly interjected,

"It's too coincidental for the Great Brahma Poison to meet the three knives of Atuodao, right, brother. ”

Xiao Cong shook his head and chuckled,

"You're only half right, that Great Brahman-like poison isn't even a fake. ”

"That's the Confession!" Hongxiang hurriedly added.

Xiao Cong nodded,

"That's right, Bodhisattva. ”

"Is there any connection between the two?" Yin Nuo turned his head, his steps slowed down a lot, and he looked stupid.

"What is the relationship between the two of them, don't you know? That trick was made by you!" Xiao Cong took the opportunity to tease Yin Nuo mercilessly, making the latter confused for a while, and after thinking for a while, he replied with the back of his head:

"Just because I can do that doesn't mean I know what's going on, it doesn't seem to have a direct relationship. ”

Hongxiang chuckled and said, "Fool!" Xiao Cong just pursed his lips, and then said with a smile:

"You really don't know that little bit of old stuff between the two of them?"

Yin Nuo shook his head like a rattle,

"I really don't know. ”

Xiao Cong smiled and sighed faintly,

"Since you can get his inheritance, then you should know about his deeds......"

Before he finished speaking, Hongxiang, who heard it like a curious puppy, interjected hurriedly:

"Say it quickly, I want to know too. ”

Xiao Cong gave him a blank look, probably because he couldn't bear to destroy the emotions just brewed, so he didn't blame him, just cleared his throat and continued:

"You said that you felt in a trance when you remembered the events of that night, I guess this is probably because of the demon knife, it was he who swayed your mind, so that you couldn't help but shoot, as for why the demon knife can affect you, I can't make a reasonable explanation, but why does he affect you, I can tell you, you get the demon knife inheritance, that is, the so-called Atuo Dao three knives, just listen to the name, you should guess that this is the Buddhist disciple created, the person who founded this knife method is called Atuo, originally the seventh disciple of the Venerable Da Rulai sat down, because of the study of Buddhism for his own use, so that he later went astray, created his own doctrine, named Atuo Dao, you use the three knives of Atuo DaoIt is just one of the doctrines he created, 'The relics are the emptiness of all dharmas, unborn and imperishable, impure and impure, not increasing or decreasing, so that there is no color in the air, no eyes, no ears, no nose, no tongue, body and mind, no color, no fragrance, no sound, no taste, no vision, no consciousness, no ignorance, no end of ignorance, no old death, no old age and no death, no suffering, no wisdom and no hindrance, and there is no gain. The bitter character that you named for that trick is exactly what Bo quotes from here. ”

"Isn't this the foundation of the Buddha realm?" Hongxiang frowned slightly, puzzled.

Xiao Cong smiled when he heard this,

"Basics? First of all, explain to me what is called a foundation. ”

Yin Nuo thought for a moment and said seriously:

"To be honest, I don't really understand either. β€œ

Hongxiang shook his head angrily, and said helplessly:

"Why don't you two even understand this? ”

Xiao Cong laughed more ugly than crying, and suddenly realized:

"Oh, it turns out that this is the foundation, this time I understand, then if I say the basic idea, then change the abbreviation to be the foundation?"

Yin Nuo couldn't help but laugh when he heard this, and Hongxiang's forehead was covered with black lines.

Xiao Cong smiled again, and continued to speak seriously:

"Prajna Sutra" is not only the basic work of the Buddha world, he also represents the core idea of Buddhism, legend has it that the Venerable Buddha became a Buddha under the Bodhi tree, not only the Bodhi tree became the Bodhi Holy Ancestor, even the mirror and candlestick around him have turned into a mirror stand, two ancient Buddhas who burn the lamp, the "Prajna Sutra", is the four of them co-authored, these four have opened up a line of Buddhism, as for the white Buddha, Vajra, Bodhisattva, Arhat and the like, are latecomers, and it is because of them that Buddhism has evolved into so many Taos. ”

As he spoke, Xiao Cong couldn't help but let out a few laughs, his moist eyes full of sarcasm.

Yin Nuo and Hongxiang were fascinated by the listening, fell into deep thought, and seemed to be unaware of the cessation of Xiao Cong's speech, Yin Nuo half-lowered his head, and walked forward without a master, like a walking corpse, Hongxiang bit his fingers lightly, but he was sucking hard, and walked forward absentmindedly, as if he had attracted something dirty on his body, and in less than a moment, Yin Nuo was still thinking deeply, but Hongxiang raised his head suddenly and asked:

"Brother, there's one thing I can't figure out when I think about it. ”

Xiao Cong's voice was as natural and warm as his smile,

"You say. ”

"I can understand that Venerable Nyolai enlightened under the Bodhi tree, and I can understand the candlestick next to him, but why he put a mirror next to him, the key is that this mirror has become a Buddha! My God, this is really terrible. ”

Xiao Cong pursed the corners of his mouth, but he didn't smile but felt full of deep meaning, so he quietly looked at Hongxiang for a long time, and finally replied,

"I have memorized this question of yours, and when I see the Venerable Da Rulai in the future, I will help you ask him, don't worry. ”

Hongxiang scratched the back of his head and said bitterly:

"What do you mean......

Yin Nuo on the side also came back to his senses, he was not as boring as Hongxiang, he liked to think nonsense, so there was no boring question like Hongxiang, he asked:

"By the way, Fourth Young Master Xiao, you have said so much, Atuo, why haven't I heard you mention it all this time. ”

Xiao Cong pretended to be disgusted and said impatiently:

"I haven't talked about it yet, what are you anxious about!"

Yin Nuo lowered his head and whispered "Oh".

Then, Xiao Cong began to talk eloquently again.

"As for the grievances between Tuo and the White Buddha, it was a long time later, the White Buddha preached earlier than Tuo, but compared with the White Buddha, Tuo is undoubtedly a rising star, the legend is that the Venerable is equal to the Emperor, so there is no importance to who does not value whom, but after Tuo attained enlightenment, the edge is too exposed, although I said that the Dharma he participated in the study is misguided, but the Buddhist sages do not think so, but later this guy made too many too extreme bad things, so that the White Buddha can not stand it, and sent the highest Vajra Confession Maha to descend him, can confess the Tao of Bodhisattva, is not Tuo's opponent at all, To say that this guy was really ruthless back then, as the saying goes, don't look at the face of the monk to see the face of the Buddha, this guy defeated the Po Sahe after the latter was slaughtered with a knife, the white Buddha heard this, the anger was beyond measure, aside from the bad things that insulted the teacher, this is the same door to kill each other, so he personally shot, and finally fought with Atuo to lose both, the white Buddha returned to the Western Bliss, and Atuo, but since then there is no trace. ”

"Then this demon knife in my hand ......"

"It must have something to do with the seriously injured and dying Ato. ”

Looking at Xiao Cong with a determined face, Yin Nuo wanted to speak and stopped, his slightly pouting mouth and struggling little eyes, even Xiao Cong looked uncomfortable.

"Just ask whatever you want, anyway, I don't know too much about it. "Xiao Cong didn't have a good airway.

Yin Nuo blurted out:

"If I can practice the three swords of the Atuo Dao, will I be considered a descendant of Atuo and be hunted down by the Buddha Realm?"

Xiao Cong hadn't spoken yet, but he heard Hongxiang grin and said indifferently:

"What do you think, that's for sure!"

When Yin Nuo heard this, his pale and cold face suddenly turned the color of pig's liver, and even his breathing became faintly lighter.

Xiao Cong intentionally or unintentionally glanced at Hongxiang, who was still in the mood after falling into the well, this guy looked at Yin Nuo who was uneasy, his face was full of schadenfreude, and he said:

"This matter sounds very serious, but now, it's not as serious as you think, this grievance between the White Buddha and Tuo is an old thing a few eras ago, that is, people who have a heart still remember, ordinary disciples may not necessarily know, besides, the masters of the Buddha world have no reason to pay special attention to you as a little person who crosses the river realm, you don't want to be the bird that frightened the bow, and finally scared yourself to death, that Tuo Dao three swords, don't use it again in the future, as for that night's shocking style, it is estimated that no one can see the Tao inside, because I also vaguely heard you say a bitter word, only to get suspicious, You don't have to be afraid that you will not gain anything from your hard work, and when your sword skills are completed, the average Buddha will probably not be able to help you, as for how to choose in the future, that is your own business, eat steamed buns and drink cold water, you have a bottom in your heart, I will say so much. ”

Yin Nuo's face finally slowly returned to blood, but his eyes still looked a little panicked, and after a while, he asked again:

"Fourth Young Master Xiao, you said, if I give up cultivating the Three Swords of the Tuo Dao now, is it still too late. ”

Xiao Cong sneered, straightened his eyebrows lightly, and slanted at Yin Nuo, the disdain in his tone was undisguised,

"What, scared?"

Yin Nuo closed his lips tightly and nodded vigorously.

Xiao Cong was so angry that he gritted his teeth, and he could clearly see the trembling of the masseter muscles on his cheeks, and said coldly:

"It's late, you're already on the thief ship, and you want to get out? ”

Hongxiang noticed the clear chill in Xiao Cong's tone, his eyes moved back and forth between Xiao Cong and Yin Nuo, at a loss, and he didn't know what to say, so he could only look like this, and his big black and white eyes were becoming more and more careful.

Yin Nuo hung his head gloomily and sighed,

"Fourth Young Master Xiao, don't be angry, don't misunderstand, I, Yin Nuo, am not the kind of person who is greedy for life and afraid of death, I'm just afraid of ...... I'm just afraid...... I'm afraid that it will affect Xiao Sigongzi, I think...... I want Xiao Sigongzi to take me with me all the time, if I can do this, this peerless sword technique can not be practiced. ”

For this clumsy and straightforward but somewhat numb statement, Xiao Cong couldn't help but shudder, and rolled his eyes.

Hongxiang, who was standing next to Yin Nuo, suddenly jumped up and slapped Yin Nuo's head unequivocally, Yin Nuo was stunned by this sudden slap, and turned his face to look at Hongxiang in a daze, with an unbelievable expression, but the latter said indignantly:

"I'm afraid of being implicated by you, is my brother that kind of person? Besides, it's just an old bald donkey, what's there to be afraid of, I don't even have this bit of courage, I'm embarrassed to follow my brother, the newcomer, it's not me talking about you, you said that you just gave up the idea of cultivating the three swords of the Atuo Dao, isn't it a bit too bastard, how can you be so cowardly, I instigated you to slap it, don't lose it!"

Yin Nuo came back to his senses for a long time, nodded and resigned,

"What Brother Hongxiang said is, it should be incited!

Hongxiang smug, snorted lightly and turned his face away.
